Sony is trying its best to take the world by storm with its new launches and expansion in the console domains. The latest report related to the brand suggests that it is working on a gaming handheld to compete with the Nintendo Switch. The device will be pretty different from the PlayStation Portal which only works as a remote player for the console. For example, you can only steam games and media from a connected PS5 or WiFi on the PlayStation Portal. news Also Read: Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Price Cut Announced In India: Get A Flat Rs 5,000 Off THIS Way

The competition between the two is fierce and we have been seeing that for a long time now with the Xbox and PlayStation consoles in play. And if Sony goes all guns blazing and drops a gaming handheld then we already know that Microsoft will join the party soon.

However, coming back to reality, any of the mentioned brands are not going to drop a gaming handheld in the next couple of years most probably. The best possible assumption for the same would be at least three years down the line. On a concluding note, it can be said that waiting is the best option as of now until Sony confirms something officially.
